Anne Elliott's photos with the keyword: Saddle sp.

We almost missed finding this really small Saddle fungus (macro photo), but luckily the sun was shining right on it. Taken when a few of us were botanizing Rod Handfield's property, south of Calgary and west of Millarville, on 17 August 2012.

Thought I might as well add this to my Flickr photostream. I have just created the mosaic to send to the friends who spent Friday botanizing and searching for fungi on Rod Handfield's property, SW of Calgary, near Millarville. I have so many other fungi photos from that day (many that didn't come out - had such a problem with getting any focus and so many photos were blown out), and it is going to take ages to go through them. I knew the ID for some of these, but I have now been given the ID for all but one image - thanks so much, Karel! Photo 1 is a Slime Mold Photo 2 is Violet Toothed Polypore (Trichaptum fuscoviolaceum) Photo 3 is Cystoderma cinnabarinum Photo 4 is Eyelash fungi, Scutellinia scutellata Photo 5 is Russula emetica (The Sickener) Photo 7 is Cystoderma cinnabarinum Photo 8 is a Saddle Fungus, Helvella sp. Photo 9 is Ergot fungus (which can even cause death). No "need" to comment, especially as I will eventually add the individual photos to my photostream.
